This is a very fun technique that I've used recently in one of my Queenscraps Jan Kit project. It's really very easy to create a note paper look on photographs.Here are the steps.1) Distress all edges of the photograph using the scissors distressing technique or a paper distresser.2) On one edge (either the left or right) of the photograph, punch a row of holes using a hole puncher.

"Have you ever looked at old, very subtly sepia-toned black and white photographs and wondered how you can get the same effect with your own photographs? It is easy and fun to copy black and white tones from one photograph to another with GIMP, the renowned free and open source image editor."[via wikihow]
Antique photographs have a certain warmth to them imparted by the development process that can’t be replicated by simply dumping the color data from a photograph.

Leaving the Boathouse yesterday, I snapped this photo of the boaters on the water, and later, as I was looking at it, the image reminded me of a 19th century landscape painting. That's by design. Olmsted and Vaux, in designing Central Park, created vistas that would resemble paintings, like the ones by their friends in the Hudson River School. They designed Central Park with the notion that city dwellers would encounter the sublime as they walked around different areas of the park.Photographers in the 19th century often borrowed compositions from landscape painters, framing their shots in similar ways. In looking at the image above, I think I must carry around with me similar preconceptions of the sublime landscape and how it should be conventionally composed. In addition, my camera is an

Photograph Your Vegetable Garden [Weekend Project] Document your green thumb's handiwork this growing season by taking photos of the flowers and vegetables in your garden. Photographer and gardener Joel Heffner has some tips for getting the best snaps of your garden, like filling the frame and getting an interesting angle. Most people take garden pictures by aiming the camera downward, because it's easier than bending down or crawling in the dirt. The problem is our eye level may not be the best angle from which to take a photo. Try to move around and look for interesting angles—front, back, side, top and bottom views. Also, Heffner says that cloudy days are better than sunny ones for getting good pics without harsh shadows. How's your garden doing? Post your photos in the c

The last remaining autographed photo of holocaust hero OSKAR SCHINDLER is to be sold at auction.The German industrialist, made famous in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning Schindler's List, was responsible for saving 1,400 Jews from death during World War II.Schindler signed the photo in 1949 before giving it to a family he had taken in during the war. It currently belongs to Sholamit Vesengred, the son of two Holocaust survivors, who hopes to attract bids of up to $150,000 (GBP75,000) when the picture goes under the hammer later this year (08).And he has revealed he plans to get in contact with actor Liam Neeson - who played Schindler in the 1993 film - in the hope he'll join bidders and bump up the price.

Water by *Getty72 on deviantARTWell, I am still learning to use my DSLR camera, whilst trying to discover how to compose the object/scene. This morning, whilst eating my breakfast, I had a spur of the moment idea....I took two small side-tables and balanced one on top of the other. I ran upstairs and dug out a sheet of green felt (that I use to cover my kitchen table when playing poker...lol), and placed it over the lounge window. So, now the environment was looking pretty cool. Now for a subject! Last night I was taking photos as part of the April Photo challenge and had eaten far too much (there's a clue for the gluttony pic..lol!). So, I decided that I needed a healthy subject this morning. There is nothing healthier than fresh water.... So I grabbed my biggest wine glass (an enormous b
This photograph was taken during Tatay and Nanay's visit to Maui. The original plan was for them to move to Maui and to stay with us as long as they live. That plan changed; they got homesick. I do not know when they can come visit again because I do not know when we can afford to buy them another round trip ticket to Maui. If we can't buy them a ticket within six (6) months from the time they left, their Immigrant Visa will expire and it will be very hard to get them a visa again. That means it is close to impossible for them to come back to the US. But at this point we really can't afford to buy them a round trip ticket within six months so it looks like this photo with their grandkids here would be the last photo they would have with them here on Maui. Maybe we can someday visit

I went out yesterday for a little bit of photography. Here's a photograph of the Cornish-Windsor Bridge. [I guess Vermonters call it the Windsor-Cornish Bridge, which actually has a nicer ring to my ear, but since I'm living in New Hampshire, I'll call it "Cornish-Windsor".]What you see is the Connecticut River, not nearly frozen over, but covered with a lot of floating ice. The long horizontal thing is the bridge: the longest wooden bridge in the U.S. and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. There's snow on the roof. In the background, I believe that's Mt. Ascutney (VT), but I could be wrong about that. I have no idea of what mountain it would be if it's not Ascutney, though.As always, comments are welcomed and encouraged.

This photo of a UFO over Cornwall is hailed by experts as one of the best ever taken in Britain.UFO sightings at Cornwall 55-year-old Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object on Dec 29 (2007) from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth.In a weird twist, Kelvin did not even see the UFO at the time. He thought he was just taking a sea view… but when he loaded the digital camera card on to his computer, the round metallic ‘craft’ was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away.This news surprisingly didn’t make it big on international papers. Perhaps people are getting bored over pictures, reports, news and videos about UFO sightings, which are often found as fraud in the end.
To photograph is to exclude, said one of the masters. Much as you would like to include all sceneries in one encompassing, panoramic shot, sometimes you can't. So you have to be selective, find your point of interest and focus on your subject. For the shot above which I took in the town of Libjo, Dinagat Island, I could have moved farther away from the coconut tree and included the palm leaves and blue sky as background. But here a photographic decision had to take place. If I moved back from the tree, I would miss a lot - the root details, the soft shadows made by the leaves, white sand beach, clear waters of the shore, and the gradation of sea colors. I had to crop, frame the subject and exclude all others in the pheriphery. And I liked the outcome. Ultimately, how a subject looks photog
This morning I awoke, praying that the rain would break for a few hours so that I could take my camera for a walk and complete my January challenge. Well, I did manage to enjoy a nice long walk for a few hours, but the rain was relentless. I got absolutely drenched.... but there is something magical about walking in a forest when it is raining. The rustling of the wind through the trees, the pitter patter of the rain falling from the branches, the squelching of the sodden ground beneath your feet.I was hoping to take a few photographs and return home to select a nice one, but the rain was unforgiving, so I only managed to capture a small handful before returning the camera to the security of my damp rucksack. There were moments where I wished I could climb in there myself.My contribution t

It may come as a complete surprise to you all to discover that I like taking photographs….LOL! Truth be told, it is my way of capturing the magic and beauty of the world around me. There is so much I find inspiring about jumping in the car, going anywhere, getting out and just walking - albeit a city, a forest, a field, a lake - being somewhere and capturing the moment forever.I have visited many blogs where people have set up regular photo projects. So I have decided to have a go at doing my own. I thought hard and long for a subject for the first month and came up with nothing…ooops, and then the penny dropped. As this is the first month, I am going to make my first theme based on “One”. So the idea is, by the end of January, to take a photograph that in some way, manner or form

During this celebration period as Christmas, New Year, there will be many firework shows in many places. Therefore, there are a lot of opportunities to photograph firework photos.I am not professional but I would like to share my basic technique of how to take fireworks photos from my digital photography point of view. What do you need for taking firework photos?Camera: the one that has "Bulb†shutter speed is preferable.Wide and normal zoom lens: 10-22 mm, 16-35 mm, 18-55 mm, 24-70mm, etc. Zoom lenses have more flexibility to frame your photos. However, there are no solid rules which focal length should be used because it depends on how far of you and fireworks, how big of the fireworks are, etc.Tripod: You really need it because of long shutter speed while taking firework photos. You must keep your camera still otherwise your photos will be blurred.Remote switch: It helps you to keep your camera completely still while photographing firework shots. When you use "Bulb (B)†shu

Japan is to fingerprint and photograph foreigners entering the country from next month in an anti-terrorism policy that is stirring anger among foreign residents and human rights activists.
"This will greatly contribute to preventing international terrorist activities on our soil," Immigration Bureau official Naoto Nikai said in a briefing on the system, which starts on November 20.
Read full story
In these modern times and with globalization I must say that I am against the plans by Japan to document all foreign citizens inside and outside the country. I thought the days of the Tokugawa shogunate were gone? With Japan's role as a global leader, it's sad that they have decided to treat all non-Japanese people as suspected terrorists.
To find some answers, go here. Good suggestions include:Clench your butt cheeks.Try not to look at the camera lens, but the eyes of the person behind the camera.Hold your shoulders back, stick your chin out as far as you can, turn your face so it's at a 3/4 angle, tilt your chin down a little - hence, the "MySpace pose" or taking photos from above.In a group portrait (especially an informal one) people have a tendency to lean in toward the person in the center. Don't do that.Think of the most hilarious and/or satisfying thing you can imagine while the picture is being taken.Imagine that the camera is a child you love and smile warmly and sharingly at that child, like you're whispering "You're so cute!"Try looking away from the camera at something else, then imagine that an old friend has just called out your name from the general direction of the camera.If you are standing, turn slightly and rest your weight on one foot. It may feel goofy, but you will look better.If you are sittin

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we’d ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it’s too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life’s better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn’t let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hang
